Plot

Madhavi Sharma (Konkona Sen Sharma) arrives in Mumbai and soon lands a journalist job. Her boss Deepak Suri (Boman Irani) gives her the task of reporting celebrity news. She begins her journey in the glitzy and glamorous world of celebrity lifestyle working on Page 3.

Her roommate Pearl Sequiera (Sandhya Mridul) is an air hostess and wants to marry for money. Gayatri Sachdeva (Tara Sharma) later joins them. She is an aspiring actress and gets involved with a leading actor Rohit Kumar (Bikram Saluja). When she tells him she is pregnant he suggests she have an abortion. Depressed and shattered, she unsuccessfully tries to commit suicide and in the process loses her unborn child. Meanwhile, Pearl marries a wealthy old man and moves to the United States. Madhavi plans to expose Rohit (by writing an article on his relationship with Gayatri), but her editor kills the article and she is forced to apologise to Rohit.

Madhavi finds out that her boyfriend is gay when she finds him in bed with her best friend Abhijeet (Rehaan Engineer).

As soon as Madhavi begins to get disillusioned with her job, she declares that “the party is over” for her. She soon realises that the glamorous world of celebrity life is not as glamorous as it seems. Gayatri, who supposedly returned to Delhi, sleeps with a director and gets cast in a movie.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:

    The plot! The plot! What kind of plot could a poet possibly provide that is not surpassed by the thinking, feeling reader? Form alone is divine.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    Trade and the streets ensnare us,
    Our bodies are weak and worn;
    We plot and corrupt each other,
    And we despoil the unborn.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme—
    why are they no help to me now
    I want to make
    something imagined, not recalled?
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
